Carson wentz is now having surgery on his foot and out 5-12 weeks. Its a second round pick for the eagles then.
Is what it is if Wentz doesn't play its likely a decent 2nd rounder. It's another injuriey for Wentz he's had a big enough sample size now that there has to be a serious question mark over his ability to stay healthy so a 2 and a 3 may be fine value in the end. The real issue will be the 3rd first rounder was potentially the advantage the eagles had over other teams when it came to jumping up for a qb in next year's draft
Getting anything for him was a great deal. I thought you'd have to give up picks to get that contract of the books.
Absolutely. I thought they’d have to send a pick with him to dump the contract as well.
Wentz still has time to turn his career around but he is a giant question mark at this point.
well howie roseman is the GM so I wouldn’t be shocked if the eagles in some fine print did have to give a pick back.
Every teams fans complain about their GM and HC at some point. Some may have more reason to than others. I think the Eagles did ok in that trade in any case
And just on deshaun Watson and teams potentially trading for him. No team should be trading for him given the lack of certainty over his legal situation. Why would you trade for someone and use high draft picks when either the US legal system but more likely the NFL may act to limit your availability. Why he’s not on the commissioner’s list I don’t know.
Is there talk of teams trading for him? I haven’t seen any suggestion that he is likely to be moved ant time soon. Very unlikely until his situation is sorted out and the extent of whatever sanctions he is going to face is known I would think.
I’ve heard of Denver and Philadelphia.
Talk of trading for the last few days alright. The fact he hasn't been put on the exemption list yet maybe the NFL have some information on the cases against him that haven't come into the public domain yet.
Any team would be crazy to sign him now though.
Yeah there are just so many ways it could blow up in your face. I don’t see any GM taking the risk
Josh Allen got paid. A nice extension which makes him one of the highest paid QBs in the league.
The hall of fame inductions last night and tonight have been good. Peyton manning speech was great btw. Short but funny and showed a clear love of football.
Carl Lawson done for the season with a torn achilles. It never rains for the Jets
Devastating injury for the Jets, going by the talk from camp he had been the best player on either side of the field
That’s tough for Lawson who is a very underrated player. On a personal level at least he got paid. Devastating for the Jets without a doubt, they looked like they were putting a decent unit together in that front seven.
In news that will shock nobody Antonio brown is acting the gowl again. He was sent home from a joint practice for allegedly punching an opponent. For someone with such talent he really doesn’t help himself and in the past few years he’s constantly doing stupid **** that gets him in trouble.
Nothing alleged, pictures and video of him ripping off the other guy's helmet and catching him with a punch to the face. The guy is a lunatic
Fair enough sky sports nfl might have not seen the video because they used the word alleged which is why I used it. I mean he’s got his super bowl ring so why doesn’t he just retire because he seems incapable of acting like an adult. That carry on about the helmet was nuts. He’s very very lucky that Tom Brady seems to like him and goes to bat for him.
That's definitely leading to another suspension and it might be a lengthy one.
Trade
Another mess by Meyer. Wasting valuable reps for your number 1 pick for a guy you trade for a day 3 pick.
well with the eagles trading for minshew mania, that’s the end you’d think for nick mullens who throwing every caveat about preseason out there, has had an bad showing.
And I loved the quote about wanting Lawrence “earn the job.” FFS you drafted him no1 overall.
Today is the last Sunday until February, 2022 without football and I’ve never been happier to see the games pop up on gamepass. The eagles will be better this season but by how much is the question, and the outcome of week 1 while important in the standings isn’t a good indication of how the season will go because the Jacksonville Jaguars last season were 1-0: after week 1 and we know how that went.
I've missed Scott Hansen
Yep brilliant to have football back I love Sunday evenings watching RedZone
I see Covid is already effecting some of the games with players being ruled out etc. I hope they can keep major outbreaks under control now that most players are vaccinated.
Christ. Talk about having no luck at all...
So that's Dobbins, Hill and Edwards all out for the year then? Ty'Son Williams needs to be wrapped in bubble wrap immediately.
Ravens signing Devonta Freeman. Steelers making TJ Watt highest paid defensive player in the league 4 years 112 million
